Women in every dynasty, whether they were born into ordinary families, merchant families, or even royal families, were taught from the time they were just learning to speak how to be good wives and mothers in the future.

We also need to learn the so-called Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

There are very few people who engage in serious academic research.

It's not that there were no people who studied the Four Books and Five Classics. Rich families who could afford it would invite teachers to teach them at home. But in addition to these, they would also hire maids to teach them how to manage the household affairs in the future.

It is nonsense for women to want to show off their talents like men.

Even if a woman is known to have talent, the people will talk about it with great interest and then laugh it off.

If this is the case for girls from wealthy families, then it is wishful thinking for girls from ordinary families to want to go to school.

Not to mention whether they are willing to go to school, just look at those pedantic scholars who feel so superior just because they have a little knowledge. How can they agree to let women come to them?

If all women go to school, who will take care of the husbands and children?

What's more, women could not take the imperial examinations and could not serve as officials in the court.

No matter how well educated a woman is, the best she can do is marry into a family of higher status.

Lan An couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, but these were problems that had to be faced and she had to remind him.

It is not like the previous papermaking or printing technologies, which made the times progress, but letting girls go to school is a reform, a reform of an era.

If an ordinary person wants to carry out this reform, if he succeeds, he will go down in history; if he fails, he will end up losing his head.

Fortunately, Chu Qiu Ze has the identity of a male god, and he has the support of the Regent King, otherwise he would not dare to do this.

Chu Qiuze listened to Lan An's suggestion and seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, he had thought about these issues, but he could not accept that women spent their entire lives revolving around their husbands and children. They should have their own world.

In modern times, there are countless outstanding women who are unmatched by any number of men.

He always thinks that there are more solutions than problems, and if enemies come, we can stop them with soldiers and if water comes, we can block it with earth!

Having said that, Lan An saw that he was determined, so she stopped trying to stop him and thought about how to clear the obstacles for him.

After instructing Fu Yanjie to do the job, Lan An did not delay and immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the palace.

All previous government affairs were handed over to the crown prince, but this time the matter was of great importance, so Lan An's memorial was submitted to the emperor.

As long as they received the imperial edict, even if the people were dissatisfied, they would not dare to cause trouble.

But this imperial edict is not so easy to obtain.

The emperor was old, but having sat on the throne for more than twenty years, he was not stupid and he knew clearly what this change would bring.

However, benefits and risks always coexist. He has worked hard for half his life and is not willing to do such a big thing in his old age.

If he failed, his reputation as a wise ruler would be tarnished in the history books.

However, although Lan An did not get the desired result, the letters he received expressed tacit approval between the lines.

As expected.

As long as there is no objection, Lan An dares to let Chu Qiu Ze give it a try.

The school's address has been chosen, one in the east, south, west and north of the city, to make it convenient for students to go to and from school.

The renovation has already started.

As for the funds, it was the stack of banknotes that Lan An wanted to give to Chu Qiu Ze.

Originally, Chu Tianze wanted to exchange the blue eucalyptus for gold, but after listening to his brother's opinion, Chu Tianze agreed without hesitation.

You can be poor in anything but cannot be poor in education.

Especially after he realized that among a hundred people here, there might not be one who could read and write.

Moreover, he knew that his younger brother needed a lot of gratitude points now, and it was impossible for him to refuse his brother's request for both emotional and logical reasons.

As for Lan An, he was helpless again. What was this? He hadn't given the money away, and he owed another debt of gratitude.

Isn't it a burden to have so much debt? How can I pay it back?

Chu Qiuze listened and smiled. He had never cared about this money in the first place, but he just happened to need it now.

He stared at Lan An with charming eyes, "What are you going to give me in return? Let me think about it."

"I'll pay you back with your whole life, okay?"

So straightforward and bold.

Lan'an's ears were red, and she couldn't say a good word, nor could she say a bad word.

Chu Qiuze is now quitting while he is ahead. People in ancient times were reserved, so he will just be reserved along with them, and then he can be more unrestrained after he gets the girl he wants.

Now that the school site and funding have been resolved, it’s time to move on to the next step.

Regarding the revision of textbooks, Lan An invited a great scholar of the time, who was also the emperor's former tutor, and after retiring to his hometown, he lived out his old age in Rujing City.

The old tutor had spent his entire life studying and originally did not agree to get involved, fearing that his reputation would be ruined in his later years.

But Chu Qiu Ze is a smart man. Since you like to study, I will give you what you want.

In this time and space, there are no Tang poetry and Song lyrics, so naturally there are no Li Bai, Du Fu and Li Qingzhao.

Chu Qiuze just gave him a few collections of poems and that was it, and he also promised to give him a few more after the textbooks were revised.

The old tutor was amazed after reading only the first poem in Li Bai's collection. After he finished reading all the poems, she packed up her things and followed him without hesitation.

Even after learning that Li Qingzhao was a woman, he worshipped her as a goddess and stared at her portrait in her selected poems every day.

Now, the issue of girls going to school has been resolved.

Wow, the previous generation plants trees and the next generation enjoys the shade, Chu Qiuze sighed.

Thanks to Li Du CP and Miss Li Qingzhao.

Lan An had read these poems before Chu Qiuze sent them to him, and he was truly astonished by them.

As a prince, even though he is not favored, his knowledge is naturally good.

Therefore, Lan An is now not only curious about the various high technologies in Chu Qiu Ze's world, but also curious about knowledge.

Chu Qiuze was excited after understanding it, and he wished Lan An could learn more.

If Lan An is willing to live with him in the modern world in the future, then he must learn modern knowledge so as not to go out like an illiterate.

So when revising the teaching materials, Chu Qiuze brought blue eucalyptus.

Chu Qiuze meant revising the teaching materials by combining them with modern primary school textbooks and letting Lan An start from the simplest.

Although the old tutor was old, she was quick to accept new things. She was amazed when she saw those modern textbooks.

The wording and sentences are simple and easy to understand, and they are also catchy to read. Compared with the obscure and difficult to pronounce Four Books and Five Classics, this knowledge is really suitable for enlightenment.

The two hit it off immediately and it took only five days to revise Da Han’s first generation Chinese textbook.

As for mathematics, Chu Qiuze planned to do it himself.

In ancient times, this was not called mathematics, but arithmetic. Not to mention the common people, even the students found it difficult and obscure.

A problem that can be explained simply by adding three plus five divided by two is forced to be filled with a long article with many examples. It is already difficult to understand the question.

Even Chu Qiu Ze felt overwhelmed when reading these topics, and finally asked the old tutor and Lan An to describe them in plain language for him.

All he had to do was to make the problem easier, simplify it, describe it in vernacular, and then introduce Arabic numerals into it.

Apart from Arabic numerals, it's just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We won't consider more difficult geometry and equations for now.

When it comes to addition and subtraction, Chu Qiuze basically only used the level of kindergarten, directly writing out the equations, such as if the ones place is not enough, then borrow from the tens place.

The old master felt that his recent cognition was being refreshed infinitely.

He had never thought that mathematics could be done in this way. Although the Arabic numerals were written in a crooked manner and did not look like characters at all, they were easier for ordinary people to recognize.

This reduces the difficulty of popularization invisibly.

But this is only for ordinary people. Such simple things are just the tip of the iceberg for him who has studied for his whole life.

After seeing such high-level works as Tang poetry and Song lyrics, this mathematics seems a little unremarkable.

But when he saw the multiplication table, he was so excited that he almost fainted.

If everyone can memorize this catchy formula, then...

"Old sir, don't get excited." Chu Qiu Ze smiled helplessly, fearing that the old tutor would faint.

In fact, the multiplication table already existed in its early form.

For example, in the Analects: There were six or seven men with caps on their heads and five or six boys.

After he said this, the old tutor suddenly understood. Sentences like "three times nine is twenty-seven" and "nine times nine is eighty-one" can be found in books like "Xunzi" and "Huainanzi".

It's just that no one has ever put it together.

This multiplication method is truly magical.

Originally, this version of the textbook was used for "primary school" and was only for enlightenment. Those who needed to take the imperial examinations still had to go to traditional academies.

But after careful consideration by Lan An and the old tutor, this version was also used in the academy, bringing good news to all the students.

The schools have been renovated and each can accommodate approximately 800 to 1,000 students.

This dynasty always distinguished between men and women. In order to avoid trouble, a school was reserved for female students only, which is the modern girls' school.

Blue Eucalyptus also rushed the printing of the revised teaching materials, and the first batch has already been shipped.

Fu Yanjie also took care of the teacher recruitment.

A total of twelve teachers were recruited, all of whom were scholars. Because they wanted to recruit female students, they also specially recruited four educated female teachers.

The four female teachers were all experienced, having previously worked as tutors for young ladies in wealthy families.

Before taking up their posts, Chu Qiuze and the old tutor first gave the teachers training, and only those who passed the training could take up their posts.

Chu Qiuze was worried before, what if he was not here in the future and there were things in the textbook that the teacher didn’t know, fortunately, there was still the old tutor.

The old tutor had revised the textbooks with him, so naturally he had a thorough understanding of the knowledge.

Training teachers is also a breeze.

Everything is ready.

Now all that’s left is enrollment.

It is already the end of autumn and the beginning of winter here, and the busy farming season is over.

It's time to study.

During this period, there were all kinds of noises and bangs everywhere in the city, and the people guessed that something big was going to happen.

But when the notice was posted outside the government office, it shocked the entire nation.

Especially for children from poor families, no one thought of setting up a school for them.

Look at what the notice says, there is no fee for repairs, you just need to go to the designated store to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

I originally thought that the prices in this designated store would definitely not be cheap, but unexpectedly, when someone went to take a look out of curiosity, they found that the prices of pens and ink were only 30% cheaper than those in other stores.

This Xuan paper, which has the highest consumption, is 70% cheaper than other shops.

As soon as the news came out, countless students rushed to stock up, fearing that they would be out of stock if they arrived too late.

This forced shop owners to limit purchases.

This was the first batch of Xuan paper produced by Lan'an after he improved the traditional papermaking technique.

The Imperial City hasn't been used yet, but Mirror City has taken the lead.

There's no other way. Lan An is here to support Chu Qiu Ze's work.

When the popularity of the cheap rice paper died down, the number of children registering for admission surpassed the school's threshold.

Most of them were from poor families and had never been to school. The youngest was only four or five years old, while the oldest was fifteen or sixteen.

The school is only this big and cannot accommodate so many students. It is a first-come, first-served basis and we will recruit more students after the school expands in the future.

But the people disagreed. They said that if there was no room to sit, they could just stand in class. As long as they were given the opportunity to study, they would do anything.

This is such a great opportunity, and we heard that this school was founded by a male god, so how could people let it go?
